The first match of the cricket world cup will be played between South Africa and the host England, in the Oval Stadium. The day match will start at 10:30 BST and 11:30 am (South Africa Time) on Thursday, 30 May.

The weather is 16° – with clouds and breaks of sun and a couple of showers late in the day. The moisture during the second innings of the match can create problems both for the batting and fielding sides.

It will be a tough match between the two strongest teams of the season, both having a number of top order batsmen and strong bowling attack. A target of 280-300 runs would be strong and can create some trouble for the team batting in the second innings.

The Oval cricket ground pitch on the day of the world cup match between ENG vs RSA will be dry and flat. The pitch can offer good bounce and pace to the fast or medium-fast bowlers. For batsmen, the pitch can offer some really cracking shots and boundaries, but be prepared to defend that extra bounce and pace from the fast bowlers.

The first Cricket World Cup match between England and South Africa will be largely dependent on the fast or medium-fast bowlers of both the teams. A ball delivered with good pace can create troubles for the batsmen.

The pace from England bowlers – David Willey, Mark Wood, Tom Curran – and the amazing bouncers from Jake Ball can send batsmen back to the pavilion. South African bowlers, especially Morne Morkel, Andile Phehlukwayo, and Kagiso Rabada can do great wonders for their team.

As far batting is concerned, both the teams have top-class batsmen, and their batting line-up goes straight to the 6th 7th spots. If played with the best timing and understanding the dynamics of the bowling attack, scoring more than a half-century on this flat dry pitch is possible.

According to the prediction calculator, England has better chances of winning the game – all thanks to their pace bowlers. But South Africa can dominate if they work according to the team plan and defend those bouncers, yorkers, and pace bowling by the English bowlers.

The second match of ICC Cricket World Cup will be played between Pakistan and West Indies, in the Trent Bridge stadium. The day match will start at 10:30 (BST), 02:30 pm (Pakistan Standard Time), and 3:30 pm (Barbados WI time).

As per cricket world cup match weather forecast, it will be cloudy weather with a couple of showers and thunderstorms after late evening.

The ground pitch is dry with a few cracks on it and team bowling first can gain a good advantage of this. Top fast bowlers with good pace and bounce, especially from the Pakistani team such as Hasan Ali, Muhammad Aamir, M.Husnain, Shaheen Afridi, and Usman Shinwari can give a tough time to the West Indies batsmen.

The batsmen have to play shots with the right timing and proper shot selection, and the key to maintaining a long batting partnership is possible if you can defend those bouncers and pace attack from the bowlers.

According to the prediction calculator, Pakistan has more chances of winning the game against West Indies – all thanks to the Pak fast bowlers like Aamir, Junaid, and Shaheen. On the other hand, West Indies don’t have that type of unique bowling attack suited for this type of pitch, so they have to show some good hitting skills to have any chances of grabbing the winner spot. However, the rain can bring a huge effect on the results of both the teams!

The third match of the ICC Cricket World Cup will be played between SRI vs NZ, in the Sophia Gardens Cardiff stadium. The match will start at 10:30 (BST), 3:30 pm (Sri Lanka Time), and 9:30 pm (New Zealand Time).

The match weather forecast displays a 20° warm and pleasant weather with intervals of clouds and beautiful sunshine.

The Cardiff ground pitch report for this cricket world cup match, tells that the pitch is best suited to fast bowlers who have got a good pace and that extra line of length. Three to four top fast bowlers can turn moments in favor of their teams. The batsmen have to avoid those silly shots and do the best timings on the pace and bounce.

According to world cup prediction analysis of NZ vs SRI, New Zealand has more chances of winning the match – thanks to its fast bowlers like Trent Boult, Tim Southee, and Matt Henry who are a perfect combination of pace and bounce for this type of pitch and ground. Since Sri Lanka don’t have that lot of fast bowlers except Thisara Perera, the only way for them to win the match is performing good in batting and setting a target anywhere above 280.

The fourth match of the cricket world cup will be played between Afghanistan and the defending champion Australia, in the County Ground Bristol Stadium. The match which is scheduled to take place on 1st June 2019, will start at 13:30 (BST), 5:00 pm (Afghanistan time), and 10:30 pm (Australia Time).

The 20° warm and pleasant weather with intervals of clouds and sunshine, make the day perfect for a cricket match.

The ground pitch report indicates that a dry and flat pitch is best suited to the fast bowlers of the Australian cricket team. Australian bowlers like Marcus Stoinis, Kane Richardson, and Shaun Marsh can all bowl brilliantly well on this type of pitch – giving a tough time to the opposition.

According to prediction analysis, Australia has more chances of winning the game. The major disadvantage that Afghanistan may face on this patch, is the lack of fast bowlers with bounce and pace.

The fifth match of the ICC CWC 2019 will be played between SA vs BAN, in the Oval Stadium. The match is scheduled to be played on June 2 at 10:30 (BST), 11:30 am (South Africa Time), 3:30 pm (Bangladesh Time).

The weather during this match will be 20° – warm and pleasant weather with both clouds and sunshine.

The ground pitch will be dry and level. The pitch can offer great pace to the fast or medium bowlers. For batsmen, the pitch can offer some truly breaking shots and limits, however, be set up to safeguard that additional bounce and pace from the bowlers.

According to a prediction analysis of the world cup match between SA and BAN, there are more winning votes in favor of South Africa. This is because South Africa’s bowling and batting attack are superior to Bangladesh. However, if top Bangladeshi fast bowlers like Rubel Hussain, Mustafizur Rahman, and Taskin Ahmed manage to send top South African batsmen like Hashim Amla, Faf Du Plessis, and Quinto De Kock back to the pavilion in the first 20 overs of the match, then the game can possibly turn in favor of Bangladesh.

The sixth match of the CWC 2019 will be played between Pakistan and the tournament host England. The match will take place in Trent Bridge Stadium, at 10:30 (BST) or 02:30 pm (Pakistan Standard Time).

The weather forecast report shows a 20° temperature and a partly sunny day with a couple of showers in the evening.

The pitch ground report tells that the pitch may absorb in the moisture from the rainy weather, and make things difficult for both the teams. Batting and bowling would be a real struggle, and the team which delivers the best attack in such weather conditions have the most chances of winning.

According to cricket world cup prediction analysis of the match between ENG and PAK, there’s no favorite time. Both teams have top-class fast bowlers and batsmen, the pace of Hasan Ali and Muhammad Amir, that extra-ordinary bowl from Mark Wood and Tom Curren, those classy shots by Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman, and those handsome boundaries by Jos Buttler and defensive batting by Moeen Ali – make both these teams equal to each other in regards of the pitch and weather conditions.

The seventh match of the ICC World Cup will be played between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, in the Cardiff Stadium. The match will start at 10:30 (BST), 2:00 pm (Afghanistan time), and 3:00 pm (Sri Lanka time).

It will be pleasant weather with 21° temperature, and sunshine and clouds. Light showers can also be expected on the day.

The pitch report of Match 7 between AFG and SRI indicates a warning to the batsmen, against the fast and medium-pace bowlers. Spinners can also perform well here. It would be the best time for the fast bowlers of both the teams to deliver good pace, while the batsmen would have to smartly play those lofty shots. Even a single silly shot by the batsmen can turn the game upside down.

According to the prediction calculator, this match of the ICC world cup between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka has chances of turning in favor of Sri Lanka. When compared to Afghanistan, Sri Lanka has a much better fast-bowling squad, while Afghanistan’s bowling squad mostly comprises of spinners which have fewer chances of working on this pitch type. The best way for Afghanistan to win this match is by displaying strong batting strength and smartly playing those yorkers, bouncers, and pace length for fours and sixes.

The eighth match of the cricket world cup will be played between South Africa and India, in the Southampton Rose Bowl cricket stadium on 5th June 2019. The match will start at 10:30 (BST), 11:30 am (South Africa Time), and 3:00 pm (India Standard time).

It will be clear weather, with 21° temperature and partly sunny day.

The pitch report of IND vs SA World Cup Match 2019 identifies a smooth pitch, with a slight covering of grass. The boundaries are short, making it easy for the batsmen to hit 6’s and 4’s with ease. The real test will be of the bowlers who have to struggle with the seam and pace of the ball on this pitch.

Since the pitch is best suited to the batsmen, so India has greater chances of winning it. The top-order Indian batsmen like Rohit Sharman, Dhawan, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, MS Dhoni can easily lead their team to victory. If South Africa has any chances of winning, they either have to bat better than the strong batting line-up or the RSA bowlers have to do some real effort to take the top 5 Indian batsmen out early.

The ninth month of the 2019 ICC World Cup series will be played between Bangladesh and New Zealand in the Oval Stadium on Wednesday, June 5th. The match will start at 13:30 (BST), 6:30 pm (Bangladesh Time), and 12:30 am (Thursday, New Zealand Time).

The 21° clear and sunny weather with a bit of cloud, make it a perfect day for a world cup cricket match.

The dry and flat pitch of the Oval stadium will give an edge to the team with the best fast bowlers delivering good pace and bounce. For batsmen, timing a shot on this pitch would be easy as the ball comes to the bat, but they have to be careful from playing those silly shots which can send them back to the pavilion.

The ICC CWC prediction report for BANG vs NZ match includes New Zealand in the higher chances of winning those two points. This is because of the top NZ bowlers like Tim Southee and Trent Boult who are much more experienced in taking full advantage of these type of pitches. The Bangladesh batsmen have to play really smart if they have to get any chances of winning.

The tenth match of the 2019 ICC CWC will be played between the defending champion Australia and the West Indies. The match will take place in Trent Bridge stadium on June 6th, 2019. Starting time of this match is 10:30 (BST), 10:30 pm (Australia Time), and 3:30 pm (Barbados West Indies time).

According to the match forecast, the weather during this world cup match will be cloudy in the morning, and some sun in the evening with a temperature of 20°.

The report tells that the ground pitch is dry with a few cracks on it, giving maximum advantage to the team bowling first. Fast bowlers with good pace and bounce, especially from the Australian bowling squad such as Marcus Stoinis and Kane Richardson can give a tough time to the West Indies batting line. The batsmen have to play classy shots with proper timing and smartly strike that pace bowling attack.

According to prediction, the world cup match between AUS and WI will be won by the team which offers good bowling and limits the opponent to less than 250. Since Australia has a good fast-bowling attack, so on this pitch there’s a great chance for it to crush the West Indies team. However, WI can increase their chances of winning by playing sensibly and avoid lofting every shot.

The eleventh match of the cricket world cup is scheduled to be played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The venue for this match is the County Ground Bristol Stadium, and the match date is June 7th, 2019. The match will start at 10:30 (BST) which converts to 2:30 pm (Pakistan Time) and 3:30 pm (Sri Lanka Time).

In 22° temperature, there is expected some serious morning showers and thunderstorms on this day. Because of the weather conditions, there are chances of this match getting delayed or each point given to both the teams.

Although the ground pitch report makes it the best pitch for fast bowlers who have got some serious type of pace and bounce, the rainy weather can make both batting and bowling difficult. With an increase in humidity and moisture, there are chances of the ball slipping from the bowler’s hand and not bouncing with proper length on the damp pitch. The effects of the weather will be faced by both the teams.

As per the Cricket World Cup Prediction report, this PAK vs SRI world cup match will be won by Pakistan. A professional lot of fast bowlers and spinners gives Pakistan an edge over Sri Lanka during this stage. In Sri Lanka, there are no any special bowlers who can deliver that good bounce or pace, except Thesara Perera. The strong batting line-up is another possible factor which Pakistan may enjoy over Sri Lanka.

The 12th match of the cricket world cup will be played between England and Bangladesh in the Cardiff Stadium on June 8th, 2019. The match will start at 10:30 (BST) and 3:30 pm (Bangladesh Time).

In 21° temperature, a couple of showers and a thunderstorm is expected on this day. The weather conditions may affect the play.

Due to the moisture and humidity, the Cardiff ground pitch can give a tough time to both the bowlers and batsmen. While the bowlers have to prevent the ball slipping from their hands, the batsmen have to do some real effort to get the ball to the bat and hit with proper shot timing.

According to the latest world cup prediction report, it will be a tough match. Both the teams have got a good lineup of fast bowlers like Mark Wood and Tom Curren of England, and Rubel Hussain and Taskin of Bangladesh. However, what gives an edge to England during this match, is its batting order which is much stronger than Bangladesh. If Bangladesh fails to bowl out the top order batsmen of England, such as Moeen Ali, Buttler and Morgan – then the match will remain largely in control of England. But you can expect some serious competition here!

The thirteenth match of the ICC World Cup Cricket Tournament will be played between Afghanistan and New Zealand in the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton. The match will start at 13:30 BST, which converts to 12:30 am (Sunday, New Zealand Time) and 5:00 pm (Afghanistan Time).

The weather reports of this world cup match indicate a thunderstorm and scattered showers at the end of this day. The temperature is ideal, 21° C.

The pitch of this stadium is old and has a couple of cracks. Spin bowlers can gain full advantage of this ideal pitch, and crush the opponent with the strong bowling attack. Batting in such conditions may be a bit difficult for the batsmen.

According to prediction analysis, Afghanistan has chances of winning this match on the condition if it’s master spin bowlers like Rashid Khan and Muhammad Nabi bowl the NZ batsmen out in the first overs. Spin bowling is ideal on this pitch, and Afghanistan has already got it. On the other hand, England does have a strong batting line up but it lacks such master spinners. The game has the most chances of turning into Afghanistan’s favor.

The 14th match of the cricket world cup tournament will be played against India and Australia in the Kennington Oval Stadium on June 9th, 2019. The match will start at 10:30 (BST), which converts to 3:00 pm (India Time) and 10:30 pm (Australia Time).

The world cup match weather forecast says that it will be 22° sunny day, with beautiful sunshine and some clouds.

Playing on the Oval cricket ground pitch in such lovely warm weather, will give major benefits to both the teams and allow them to play with their full potential. In such dry conditions, the pitch will offer a major advantage to the seamers and reverse-swingers. It will be the time for both the teams’ batsmen to display their skills and defend the bowling attack.

According to prediction analysis, the team has a good number of seamers, swingers, and pro batsmen have higher chances of winning the match. The Australian cricket team will definitely have an edge over the Indian team.

There’s no doubt that Indian batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Shekhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and MS Dhoni can make a big total on the scoreboard, but what India lacks are the reverse-swinger and fast bowlers with good pace. On the other hand, the Australian cricket team is a perfect blend of all the batsmen and bowling maestros, who can easily snatch the 2-point victory from India. We have already seen how the Australian batsmen and bowlers, thrashed India by winning the ODI series in the Indian home ground back in March.

The fifteenth match of the ICC CWC 2019 Tournament will be played between South Africa and West Indies. The match which is scheduled on 10th June will start at 10:30 (BST), 11:30 am (South Africa Time), and 3:30 pm (Barbados West Indies time).

It will be pleasant sunny weather, with good sunshine. You can expect a really good game of cricket during the hot weather conditions on this pitch.

The ground pitch report tells that this world cup match will be very interesting to watch. The pitch is slightly covered with grass, which means bowlers have to do a bit struggle to work with their pace and bounce. The boundaries are shorter than other stadiums, which means the batsmen can easily hit for those humongous sixes and cracking fours.

According to world cup match predictions 2019, the short boundary and slow pace, will give a good opportunity to the West Indies batsmen to hit for those huge sixes. You already know the six-hitting power of the West Indies team on short grounds like this. So be ready to expect some serious charge of adrenaline by the beasts Chris Gayle, Jason Holder, and Andre Russell. Although South Africa has got a good fast-bowling attack, but remember this pitch is a fire batsman-pitch!

The sixteenth match of the tournament will be played against the cricket teams of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The match will be played in County Ground Stadium on June 11th June 2019 and is scheduled to start on 10:30 (BST), 3:30 pm (Bangladesh Time), and 3:30 pm (Sri Lanka Time).

The weather during this cricket world cup match between BAN and SRI will be moderately warm with 22° temperature, a burst of partial sunshine, and scatters of light drizzling only.

From the pitch report of this match, it is clear that making centuries here would prove a bit difficult to the batsmen. The average ODI scoring rate of top-order batsmen on this pitch falls around 30 to 40 runs only. However, fast bowlers with good seam and pace are expected to perform better here.

The cricket world cup 2019 prediction report favors Bangladesh over Sri Lanka in this match. When compared both the teams, Bangladesh definitely outshines Sri Lanka both in terms of bowling and batting. With extra-smart bowling from Rubel Hussain and Taskin Ahmed, ideal batting by Mahmadullah, Shakib Hassan, and Mustafizur Rehman – it would be difficult for the Sri Lankan time to compete.

The 17th match of the cricket 2019 world cup series is between Pakistan and the defending champions Australia. The match will be played in the Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton, and start on 10:30 (BST), 2:30 pm (Pakistan Time), and 10:30 pm (Australia Time).

With 22° temperature, the weather during this world cup match is expected to be cloudy with an early morning shower followed by a little rain in the evening.

Due to early morning showers on this day and the moisture in the ground, there are chances of this pitch taking the bowler’s side during the 1st innings. Any of the team bowling first, can give a tough time to the batsmen, since playing shots on damp pitches is not that easy. The things can go worsen during the 2nd innings, when there’s a light rain expected – makings things hard for both the sides. There are chances of the ball slipping from bowler’s hand, poor timing of shots by the batsmen, and slippery fields.

According to our PAK vs AUS world cup prediction analysis, the match would be won by Pakistan. This is because Pakistani bowlers have never failed to impress with their swing in cloudy and overcast conditions. But the chances of winning and losing depends on the toss as well. The team which bowls first has higher chances of leading their team to victory.

The eighteenth match of the ICC CWC 2019 will be played between India and New Zealand in the Trent Bridge stadium on June 13th, 2019. The match will start at 10:30 (BST), 3:00 pm (India time), and 9:30 pm (New Zealand Time).

Warm and pleasant weather condition, with times of clouds and sun, is expected on this day. You can expect some serious good bowling from New Zealand and a defensive batting from the Indian time.

The Cricket World Cup India vs New Zealand ground pitch report tells that sunny weather and dry pitch would benefit both the batsmen and bowlers. New Zealand bowlers, since they have got better pace and bounce than the Indians, can bring wonders to their team and surprise the Indians. On the other hand, the Indian batsmen can break the spirit of the New Zealand bowlers with a magnificent show of hitting boundaries. But timing the ball is the key here – a silly shot can send you back to the dressing room.

The CWC 2019 prediction report favors both the teams. India can win if their top order batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Dhawan, and Kohli can smartly tackle that bowling attack by NZ. New Zealand has its main strength in its fast bowling attack. Tim Southee, Trent Boult, and Lockie Ferguson have a chance to bowl-out the top Indian batsmen and lead their teams to victory.

The 19th World Cup Match between England and West Indies will be played in the Rose Bowl Stadium on June 14th, 2019. The match will start at 10:30 (BST), and 3:30 pm (Barbados WI times).

The weather conditions on this day look warm, pleasant, and sunny with a little bit of clouds only.

The ground report mentions the possibility of a firm cricket pitch, and with a slight green grass covering. The pitch may not prove good for the bowlers, especially the seamers, who have to struggle more. However, batsmen can take this pitch, pleasant sunny weather condition, and short boundaries of the stadium – to their BIG advantage!

As per the world cup prediction astrology, the match would be a nail-biting one. As the pitch is not suited to the bowling conditions, so the match is dependent on the hard work of the batsmen. West Indies batsmen Chris Gayle, Jason Holder, Russell – and England batsmen Jos Buttler, Morgan, Moeen Ali would have a great responsibility on their shoulders to score maximum possible runs and lead their teams to victory.

Sri Lanka and Australia have their cricket world cup match scheduled on 15th June at the Oval Stadium in Kennington. The match will start at 10:30 (BST), which converts to 3:30 pm (Sri Lanka Time), and 10:30 pm (Australia Time).

The world cup weather forecast says that it would be a slightly cool, cloud, and overcast day with an afternoon shower. The dry pitch of the first innings would ultimately change into a completely different pitch after the late afternoon showers during the second innings.

According to the world cup match prediction astrology, there are heavy winning chances of the team batting first. On the dry pitch, the batting-first team should try to make a huge total on the scoreboard. During the second innings, the fields would be damp due to the rain which would greatly benefit the bowlers, helping the bowl to swing more. Who will win, who will lose – it all depends on the toss and weather conditions.

South Africa and Afghanistan would face each other in the 21st match of the ICC world cup played in Sophia Gardens on June 15th, 2019. The match will start at 10:30 (BST), 2:00 pm (Afghanistan Time), and 11:30 am (South Africa Time). It would be a cloudy and overcast day, with spotty showers.

The CWC 2019 astrology predicts the winning of the team which has got better bowl-spinning skills and obviously smart batting-tactic to handles those in-swings and out-swings. Since the weather is overcast, so the damp pitch would result in more ball swings. When compared both the teams have got a strong spinners bracket.

While Afghanistan has Rashid Khan and Muhammad Nabi, South Africa has got Imran Tahir and Andile Phehlukwayo to spin the bowl. But what gives South Africa an edge over its competitor, is its strong batting line up. So right now, there’s a vote in favor of RSA, but the AFG batsmen should not be underestimated!
